Definitely disagree about rudeness. Only a trademark violation if a trademark has been registered. IANAL.

I don't use Warp, but it seems to me they did something cool (terminal app), pivoted that attention into a profitable AI play, but a lot of people just wanted the terminal app. Now nobody knows what Warp is anymore, because they want to be an Agentic IDE and that's not what the users want. Do I have that right? I don't see what the point of this OpenWarp fork is though, other than adding more provider support. Couldn…

Nowadays it just tries to do so much and seems overwhelming. I'll probably still give it a try once it supports Nushell, but I'll need to spend some time disabling a ton of the extra features.

How were they able to register it? So many other things are named Warp, for example Cloudflare Warp.
They are the same class (Class 009, software and electronic goods) but apparently the trademark examiner determined that a terminal app and VPN/security software are distinct enough not to cause a confusion.
I very much wish the OpenWarp folks would have made this clear on their README.md file.
What even is Warp now? I remember it as the electron terminal and totally dismissing it. Then I think I read it got the RIIR treatment, but there was already Ghostty and Alacritty by then. Now it looks like it’s another AI thing? What the heck is warp???
Warp was always an AI thing, as I recall - the seem much heavier on AI bandwagon nowadays, but their whole thing was a terminal for teams where you could share knowledge and command palettes and generate stuff.
I was pretty interested in it when it was just trying to be a modernized terminal. I still think some of the UI ideas are cool.

What was the terminal app though and what was special about it that Ghostty didn't already provide? edit: Found this one article (via google) that talks about the terminal. I guess it was a terminal that you could "prompt" to do things and it would figure out the shell commands. https://thenewstack.io/developer-review-of-warp-for-windows-...
Note that we are going to add bring-your-own-model directly into Warp. Would love interested folks to weigh in on the discussion here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/discussions/9619
Maybe it's just me, but I'd love a "ThinWarp" -- just the terminal with the great UI, etc. I can run Claude Code there or whatever. But I personally don't need the AI in the terminal itself.
